inefficient cache policy – how to fix?

    Hi

    When i do a performance test, I get a response saying I need to “Serve static assets with an efficient cache policy” and that page is serving following 29 resources with an inefficient cache policy.

    When I click to go to the cache status, I see that the cache types are all set at the recommended expiry period (8 days), auto browser caching is active, and hummingbird has auto detected the server type (apache). So I don’t see how else I can improve this. Any tips?

    Thanks

    Becky

    Hello @beckseden

    I hope you’re doing well!

    This means that the tour server is not configured to have an efficient cache-control policy for headers. This can’t be fixed with the Hummingbird plugin. Please see more information here:
    https://www.tezify.com/how-to/serve-static-assets-with-an-efficient-cache-policy/

    Please edit your .htaccess file and add at the very top these lines

    
# Cache Control and Enable CORS
<FilesMatch "\.(js|css|jpg|gif|png|pdf|swf|svg|svgz|ico|ttf|ttc|otf|eot|woff|woff2|webp)$">
 <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    ExpiresActive On
    ExpiresDefault  "access plus 1 month"
    Header set Cache-Control "public, immutable, max-age=2628000, s-maxage=2628000"
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
 </IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

    If the above will not work, please contact your hosting provider about this issue.

    Kind regards,
    Nastia

    Thanks, I have tried it, but i think i’ll need to talk to my server as it doesn’t seem to have changed anything. Becky.

    Hello Becky

    There could be server-side rules overriding this, let us know if that’s resolved via your hosting provider. ??

    Thank you,

    @wpmudev-support9 thank you. I am not using hummingbird any more, I’m afraid. I was unable to resolve the problem. Thanks anyway.

    Thanks for helping,

    I have put this in .htaccess and resolve the problem. Thanks anyway.
